Panda Plant - Kalanchoe tomentosa - Succulent - 4" Pot

Thick, soft, furry leaves give Panda Plant its common name. Other names for this succulent plant are Pussy Ears and Chocolate Soldier. Kalanchoe tomentosa is in the Crassulaceae family and includes more than 100 species. The most popular species for growing indoors is flowering Flaming Katy (Kalanchoe blossfeldiana). Branching from the central stem, the plump, rounded leaves taper to a point. They're silvery green marked with reddish-brown edges. The "fur" is actually soft, fine hair that covers these succulent plants. In its native habitat, Panda Plant produces fuzzy, bell-shaped flowers in spring and summer. Decorative year-round, it makes a beautiful addition to a succulent dish garden. Like other succulent types, it stores water so it rarely needs watering. Water carefully. Avoid getting the furry leaves of this plant wet because they'll easily rot. Water from the bottom or water the potting mix. If the leaves need to be cleaned, brush them gently with a soft, dry brush, such as a small paintbrush. And like other types of succulents, Kalanchoe tomentosa is tolerant of dry air. It makes a good house plant for heated homes. Just give it plenty of light and it'll thrive for many years.
